: Ok here is my current setup until i get my one outside done: : 50 gallon breeder tank 36"x18" : 1.5" Play Sand : Large Piece of Grapevine (to climb around on) : a 18" full spectrum bulb : a 100 watt esu bulb to warm up the warm end (stays just over : 110 degrees on grapevine - 100 on sand) : a 75 wall bulb to just light up the other end of tank : Any suggestions on substrate would be helpfull : I know i need to make it a little deeper - esp if i expect one of my females to lay eggs in it. : I was thinking of using a Fine Sand/Topsoil Mix (maybe 80%/20%) : i am not sure how it is in nevada but our okie horned toads dont get to play with much sand. : Also was wondering if a X-large Vision Tortoise Tub would work to make a perm enclosure for them i am looking at the large tubs that are Measures-76" wide x 40" deep x 22" high : What i am planning on doing is putting it on my lockable screened in front porch, with like 2' stickin outside to give them a a natural sun area of 2' x 40" then leaving the rest in the screened area. : Also what types of little cactus live where the deserts are from, can i use hen and chicks etc...
